Hello,

I started this process October 2011, surgery date was scheduled for October 17, 2012. Got a call 10-16-12 that my insurance changed and I had to do a 6 month weight loss program. I did the 6 months, got my approval, now I'm waiting. My surgery is scheduled for August 22nd and I.CAN'T.WAIT! ???? Any other 8-22's out there???

Thank you! It was hard to pick up the pieces after my first surgery date came and went but I'm determined to make it to the other side.

Yeah. His partner is on vacation or something and he is alone in his practice now so the dates are far out. Which program did you switch to?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
